Tennessee defensive back Naz Oliver, who was listed on the roster last season as Nyshier, underwent successful surgery to reconstruct a torn anterior cruciate ligament and was released Thursday from UT Medical Center.
Oliver, a redshirt freshman, injured his right knee during the Orange and White Game last month.
UT director of sports medicine Jason McVeigh said Oliver will miss training camp in August. McVeigh, however, does expect Oliver to participate at some point during the 2010 season.
Oliver was not expected to contribute to UT's secondary. A typical return from ACL surgery is six months.
